Abstract: A mechanical face seal (21) for a high speed, rotary fluid pressure device comprising rotating and stationary seal rings (27, 51) disposed in a housing (23) and having confronting radial seal faces (61, 63) normally biased into engagement with one another. Oppositely inclined sets of spiral grooves (71, 73) are formed in the seal face (61) of one ring (27), one set functioning to pump fluid from a reservoir downstream between the seal faces (61, 63), and the other set functioning to pump fluid between the faces (61, 63) upstream back toward the reservoir. Each downstream pumping groove (71) preferably intersets only one upstream pumping groove (73). Fluid pressure between the faces (61, 63) forms a gap therebetween, and the reversely inclined groove construction (71, 73) minimizes fluid loss or leakage. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An auxiliary video information decoder, for decoding auxiliary video information signals such as closed caption data, includes a data slicer (210) having a variable slicing level. The slicing level is adjusted in response to the amplitude of a run-in-clock (RIC) signal that is included in the auxiliary video information portion of the video signal. Slicing level adjustment involves averaging the RIC signal amplitude during a substantially integral number of cycles of the RIC signal that occur during a control interval (RICWND). The timing of the RIC signal waveform with respect to the control interval is evaluated to verify that the desired number of cycles of the RIC signal occur during a control interval. The timing evaluation operation involves counting (250) cycles of the RIC signal during a control interval. If the desired number of cycles do not occur, the timing of the control interval is modified (200, 220, 230) with respect to the RIC signal and the timing is reevaluated during a subsequent control interval. The evaluation and timing-modification operations may be repeated until the desired number of cycles of the RIC signal are detected. If repeated operation does not provide the desired result, a control signal may be generated indicating that the video signal may not include auxiliary video information.

Abstract: A system (10) for use in character (16) recognition (374, 382) in which a directed graph representing a combination of finite state machines implementing string recognition algorithms for a variety of string categories is used to process string data (12) containing a particular ending subsequence. The ending (18, 70, 108) subsequence includes acceptance (36, 80) information indicating whether (80) the string (12) is acceptable. If so, the ending subsequence (18, 70, 108) also includes information indicating a set of categories (36, 82) including words (204, 206), numbers (208, 212), coumpounds words (210), and so forth. The acceptance (18, 36, 108) information can include a bit indicating the character type of the ending character, and an acceptance (18) data unit which indicates an acceptable string ending. The acceptance (18) data unit can be followed by category (18) data units, each indicating a category, which can be used to obtain a bit vector for a string (12), each bit of which indicates whether the string (12) is in one of the categories.

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un procédé pour corriger la position de l'extrémité avant d'un outil, procédé grâce auquel un outil tel qu'un pistolet à souder ou une meule peut être conçu léger et la commande d'un programme de travail de robot est facilitée. A cet effet, des données représentant la relation entre le temps de marche d'un robot et une grandeur variable du point terminal avant de l'outil sont préalablement stockées dans une mémoire, un temps de marche intégré t est lu lorsque le point terminal avant de l'outil est déplacé sur un point cible mobile (S4), et la position du point terminal avant de l'outil après variation est déterminée sur la base des données contenues dans la mémoire (S5). La cible mobile du point terminal avant de l'outil est corrigée sur la base de la grandeur après variation (S6), et le point terminal avant de l'outil est déplacé sur le point cible mobile (S7). Grâce à cette opération, la position du point terminal avant de l'outil est corrigée en fonction de la grandeur après variation, pour qu'un usinage précis puisse être effectué à l'endroit du point cible mobile sur la pièce à usiner, éliminant ainsi le besoin de recourir à un mécanisme élastique nécessaire jusqu'ici.

Abstract: Un injecteur de carburant (10) comporte un ensemble piston plongeur (20), disposé dans une âme axiale centrale (18), qui comporte un plongeur inférieur (22), un plongeur intermédiaire (24) et un plongeur supérieur (26). Le plongeur inférieur (22) effectue un va-et-vient pour doser une quantité variable de carburant et l'injecter. Une chambre séquentielle (34), ménagée entre les plongeurs supérieur et intermédiaire (26, 24) reçoit une dose de fluide séquentiel destinée à créer une liaison hydraulique de longueur variable entre ces plongeurs (26, 24). Ce fluide s'écoule depuis la chambre (34) par une conduite (38) à la fin du cycle d'injection. Dans une variante préférée, la conduite (38) est située le long de l'axe central du plongeur intermédiaire (24) et le plongeur supérieur (26) est doté d'une saillie (29) qui se met en place quand la chambre séquentielle (34) se contracte pour obturer efficacement la conduite (38), ce qui modifie la fonction d'écoulement du fluide séquentiel en une fonction qui procure une pression de fluide supérieure dans la chambre séquentielle (34). Ceci permet de maintenir une force descendante importante sur le plongeur inférieur (22) afin d'éviter un écoulement de carburant supplémentaire et intempestif dans la chambre de combustion.

The schemes specify a first and a a second maximum amount of jitter that may be present in the encoded data streams, respectively. The transcoder includes a decoder section and an encoder section and is operated such that the data stream received by the encoder section has a non-zero amount of jitter and the encoder section produces a coded data stream having an amount of jitter which is less than or equal to the second maximum amount of jitter. By operating the transcoder to provide a decoded video data stream to the encoder section which retains a degree of jitter relative to the oriignal video signal, the buffer requirements can be minimized therefore providing reduced buffeer delay and hence a transcoder with smaller buffer delay than previously obtainable.
